[comp.emacs] Package required for emacs to enter numeric data

russell@ccu1.aukuni.ac.nz (Russell J Fulton;ccc032u) (04/24/91)

One of our users is creating files of numeric data (survey results) for input
into a statistics package. i.e. fix width columns of numbers.

Does any body have some code that will assist with this task? At a minimum
it would be helpful to be able bring up a ruler so that it is easy to check
column numbers.

We have both Unipress and Gnu emacs.

Cheers, Russell.
